Chapter Eleven: Moving On

A date in Diagon Alley goes wrong and Draco is
facing the choice of the one he loves, and the one
he loved.  Dennis faces a vampire's past and his
future is questioned.

Chapter Teaser:

Neville's thumb brushed over the smooth skin
beneath it, and he studied Justin's sleeping face,
wondering what he would say to him if he was
awake. 'Sorry about locking you up here, but we
had to you know...after what happened to Abbot.
Sorry the death of your wife made you insane...at
least you got to hold her as she died unlike
Draco. And at least Abbot won't grow up to visit
you here every holiday.' No. None of that would
do. So what did you say to a fallen comrade and
friend who was still breathing? No words could
bridge the gap that had sprung up between them,
but Neville had to try.

The Story Summary:

Neville is the Wizarding World's new hero, but is
he ready to face those that betrayed
him?

The Story Basics:

Neville has finally stopped the second war of
Voldemort, but as the Wizarding World starts to
rebuild, the survivors must deal with the fall out
of war.  Life is tough for a hero who never wanted
to be.  Between his boyfriend turning on him, his
best
friend being a temperamental dark wizard and his
comrades going insane, Neville must deal with life
as it is, and life as it will be.  And with a new
Dark Lord rising, life only looks like it's
getting more hellish.

"...And you," Harry said to Draco. "Let me define
the term rescue to you. It's not to come and then
having to be saved yourself."

"No, one day I'm going to look back on all this
and plow face-first into a tree because I was
looking the wrong bloody way. And I'll still be
having a better day than I am today."
